In anticipation of the 4th public hearing (YES!!! FOURTH!!!) on youth unemployment and underemployment happening tomorrow @ 10:15 a.m.... we thought you'd want to hear more from the youths who appeared at the 3rd public hearing.

Youth voices should always be at the forefront of discussions focusing on youth, and the JSC SSPA is ensuring that that is the case.

You can rewatch all the previous public hearings on our Youtube Channel, "ParlView."
